A Rapid Gain.

A little more than year ago, anew preparation
lor the cure of coughs, colds, hoarseness and sore
throat,was introduced to the American public. Al
though placed on the market in a quiet way with
out any attempt at sensational advertising. the
new remedy ae once made its mark, and attracted
very favorable comment Its success was attri-
butable mainly to two things: In the first place.
1t was absolutely free from dregs. Most cough
preparations are loaded with drugs. This remedy
contains none. Secondly, it embodied principle
IN Its most perfect form, which the human race
has again and again resorted to for the cure Of
throat distempers, namely, the union of a sweet
and sour in very agreeable as well as eflee-
tive combination. The success of the new RENEE
dy was wonderful. Wherever it was tried, adher-
tart and Honey, ana, Judged by its record if is
one Of the most valuable preparations that can be
employed TO cure coughs, colds, hoarseness, or
sore throat. It's pleasant taste makes it Just the
thing for children, while its effective curative
power makes it valuable to everybody,

Emerson's personal appearance was
that of scholar and the descendant Of
scholars,-tRll, slender, and with the COM
plexion which is bred in the alcove and
not in the open air. His hair was brown,
fine and thick. His eyes were of the
deepest blue. His mode of living was
very simple, but he was coustituhonally
fsstidious, and very much averse to vul.
gar or commonplace companionship. He
loved all children and simple-minded
people, and the very babies in Concord
knew and loved him. Incorrigible
Yankee he called himself; but he was
rather silent man in reality, and did
not care to talk excepting when he had
somewhat to say. He did not pirate eter-
nally of silence, as Carlyle did, while
wreaking himself upon speech in the
most frantically vehement manner all his
days, but he knew when and how TO be
silent. The glimpses he gives Mrs. En-
erson, in the long correspondence with
Carlyle, are all of the most pleasing nat
ure, and his home life was apparently as
perfect as music all his life long.-Hat-
tie TyRg GristooId, Home Life of Great
authors.

GODS TWO BOOKS.

Science and revelation can be in con-
fict only when there is imperfect I'M
derstanding If we take the scriptures
for our guide we are compelled to &C.
knowledge another inspired Bible in
the book of nature. In the written
word of God there are as many quota
Lions from truths taught from stars and
flowers as by the law and the prophets.
Our Lord himself as often refers to the
lessons Of the field as to those of the
Old Testament. These always agree
when quoted accurately. Nature is a
far more difficult volume to interpret
than Scripture. In the conflict between
science and revelation the scientist is
continuously to blame for quoting err
roneously, but the theologian is most
to blame in not recognising that the
scientist is doing his best to translate
very difficult passage. Every genera
ton mocks at the scientific theories Of
the former generation, not 80 much at
absolute error as imperfect truth. Yet
step by step we progress in knowledge.
Christian men ought to learn this truth.
1t is not by going back, but by going
forward, that knowledge is gained. If
scie mist makes discovery, or phil
osopher gives utterance to an idea
which clashes with religious truth, the
wise attitude is not to demand that the
discovery shall be suppressed, which
has hitherto been far too much the plan,
but that it shall be pushed forward to
its right issue. Nearly every form of
error is partial truth. Most theologi-
cal error is the misquotation or the i'm
perfect view of passage in the vol
ume of revelation. And most scientific
error is the same of passage in the
volume of nature. The great error of
many expositors of Scripture of bye
gone age was, that they read out of
Scripture scientific theories which were
not there, which they asserted to be
contradictory to ascertained science.
So the great error of many expositors
of nature to-day is, that they read out
of their volume theories which are not
there, and they imagine they contradict
the revealed word of God. Truly learn
ed men on both sides see the need of
humility and patience. Read on in
both books, and the agreement will
soon be evident. Hunt Cooke.
